Paint Thickness Gauge Prodig-tech GL-MAG — handheld coating thickness meter (GL-MAG)

The Prodig-tech GL-MAG is a handheld paint thickness gauge designed for contact measurement of coating thickness on painted surfaces. It measures film thickness of paint and lacquer layers to support quality control, vehicle inspections and refinishing tasks. The compact form factor and straightforward operation make the GL-MAG suitable for both workshop and field use where rapid thickness checks are required.

Advantages

The GL-MAG provides quick, contact-based readings of paint and lacquer thickness with a compact, handheld design that is easy to position on vehicle panels and other painted substrates. Its simple functionality focuses on the essential task of determining coating thickness without additional complexity, which helps reduce setup time during inspections and routine checks.

Suitable for

• Automotive body shops and vehicle pre-purchase inspections
• Paint and refinishing quality control
• Field service checks and workshop diagnostic tasks
• Measuring coating thickness on metal substrates with paint or lacquer

Key specifications

• Handheld contact measurement operation
• Designed for paint and lacquer film thickness measurement
• Compact, portable form factor for workshop and field use
• Suitable for measuring coatings on painted metal surfaces

How to use

Place the GL-MAG probe in firm contact with the painted surface to obtain a thickness reading. Ensure the measurement area is clean, dry and free of loose particles or wet contaminants before taking a reading. For consistent results, take several measurements across the surface area of interest and compare the values to determine average thickness or detect local variations.

Usage recommendations

Use on flat or gently curved painted metal surfaces for the most reliable contact readings. Avoid measuring over loose trim, heavy rust, or areas with thick debris. When inspecting vehicles, measure at multiple points including door panels, fenders and roof to identify variations in coating thickness.
